SVG in Titanium Desktop?

Question

I'm running the 1.1.0 SDK of Titanium Desktop and only my SVG text elements are rendered properly. SVG methods such as getBBox() give error messages.

The application works well outside the Titanium environment - that is: Chrome, Firefox, Safari.

Any ideas on how to solve this? (What browser + version is really running inside Titanium??)

Thanks.

Edit:

Example SVG code:

<svg width="400" height="400" viewBox="0 0 400 400"
     xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">
  <title>Example triangle01- simple example of a 'path'</title>
  <desc>A path that draws a triangle</desc>
  <rect x="1" y="1" width="398" height="398"
        fill="none" stroke="blue" />
  <path d="M 100 100 L 300 100 L 200 300 z"
        fill="red" stroke="blue" stroke-width="3" />
</svg>

Renders triangle in Chrome and other browsers:

Renders nothing (or only text elements) in Titanium Desktop:

Can you please provide an example? – Emileemilee

@TimothyAllynDrake: I added an SVG example that doesn't work in the Titanium environment. Thanks. – Hedden

@TimothyAllynDrake: When drawing SVG using JavaScript, i.e. createElementNS(...) the SVG shows fine! But not when the markup is already on the page ... – Hedden

I'll try and help you figure this out tonight. – Emileemilee

Answer 1

The SVG that you have pasted, is pretty basic and should work well in all SVG supported environments. Below is the link to the W3C's comprehensive test suite to test comformance to the SVG standard. Please find a way to run these tests in your environment. If the tests fail then your environment may not support the full SVG specs.

That link is a bit dated. The latest published testsuite is available here: dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.1F2/test/harness. – Sorghum

The WebKit/WebCore framework in Titanium Desktop is quite outdated.

Titanium Desktop has been abandoned by appcelrator and converted to a community driven project.

The community is discussing a switch to ChromeEmbedFramework.
